"Who cut it?"
Yin Xiaorou's eyes widened and she asked sincerely.
"Who's cutting it? How do I know who's cutting it?" Aunt Wan cheered and waved her hand, "Since you are the housekeeper now, it is up to you to decide. If you are really not sure, you can look at the old accounts in the house. Don’t you understand?”
"Okay, thank you mama for the tip."
Yin Xiaorou had an idea in her mind, and immediately returned to Longyan Pavilion after thanking her.
Aunt Wan watched her leave in the cold wind, and soon rubbed her arms and returned to Suifeng Garden.
In Sui Feng Garden, there are two worlds inside and outside the house.
The cold wind outside was blowing and the dead leaves were drifting, but it was warm and steaming inside.
Ruan Yunluo was sitting in a rocking chair wearing only a single coat, eating fruit and reading a book leisurely. How could he be sick at all?
"Madam, come here, have something hot to drink."
Aunt Wan took the tea cup sent by the maid and handed it to Ruan Yunluo. Seeing that Ruan just nodded and didn't take it seriously, she had no choice but to say, "Madam, the ground dragon in this house is so hot. It is already dry. You have eaten so many dry fruits. If you don't drink more moist ones, Where can this be done?”
"I don't like drinking these bitter things..."
Ruan Yunluo put down the book and took the tea cup with a grimace.
When she was about to continue complaining, she suddenly smelled a sweet smell.
When I opened the tea cup, I saw that what was boiling in the water was not bitter brown tea leaves, but jade-colored pear flesh.
"Rock candy snow pear?"
Ruan Yunluo looked at Aunt Wan in surprise, "Where did you get it?"
“The little kitchen made it myself.”
Aunt Wan sat down with a smile and continued peeling pine nuts for Ruan Yunluo, "Don't you always complain about the bitterness of tea leaves? I asked Xiao Chuang to learn it specially. If you like it, you can eat it every day in the future."
"Mommy~"
Ruan Yunluo's heart instantly softened.
She casually picked up the empty teacup on the table, filled half of it with a spoon for Nanny Wan, and handed it to her.
"How did this happen?"
Aunt Wan quickly stood up and waved her hand, "Madam, I wanted to eat, so I went to the kitchen to ask for it. How can I share a cup with you?"
"What's the point? There are no outsiders." Ruan Yunluo smiled helplessly, "From the time you entered the house as a nanny to now, how many years have we been friends?"
"Nineteen years." Nanny Wan smiled, "Speaking of which, my wife and I entered the mansion in the same year."
"right."
Ruan Yunluo recalled with a smile, "The old lady got pregnant as soon as I got married that year. As a bride who was eighteen or nineteen years old and had just passed away less than a year ago, I had to serve her during confinement, and also take care of the second young master and his wife. Miss Third, with two babies, was really busy with her feet on the ground. It was not easy to hire several wet nurses in succession. You were the only one who sincerely thought about me and helped me get through that period..."
Unfortunately, neither of them had any good results in their previous lives.
Ruan Yunluo shook the rocking chair and sighed, then stretched out his hand to hold Grandma Wan's arm with emotion, "We are a pair of hard-working old friends. Why should you be polite here?"
"That's what the lady said."
Aunt Wan smiled and put the tea cup into Ruan Yunluo's hand. She also picked up the tea cup calmly. The two of them looked at each other, smiled and made a gesture of clinking cups, and enjoyed it together.
After eating and drinking enough, Ruan Yunluo yawned sleepily.
She smiled and looked at Aunt Wan, "This Earth Dragon is good everywhere, but it's warm and makes you sleepy easily."
"Isn't it?"
Aunt Wan smiled and helped Ruan Yunluo to the couch, and while unloading her hairpin, she said: "Fortunately, the burden on your shoulders has been lifted. Now, you can doze off whenever you want. No one can control you." . And I guess they don’t have time to care about you now.”
"Let them go about their business. Just stay far away and ignore them."
Ruan Yunluo said and got into bed.
She yawned and continued to Aunt Wan: "The rock sugar snow pear tastes good. You can tell the kitchen later and ask them to make more and make a pot to satisfy the cravings of the little girls in the garden. And the little ones Auntie in the kitchen, it’s hard to do kitchen work in such a cold weather, please give them more rewards for me.”
"Oh! Don't worry."
Aunt Wan smiled and was happy for everyone.
But when he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly remembered something.
She turned back, squatted beside Ruan Yunluo's couch, and said worriedly: "I was talking to Aunt Yin just now. She seemed to have noticed something, but she didn't say it directly. I'm not sure..."
"oh?"
Ruan Yunluo opened his eyes.
She raised her arms and looked at Aunt Wan, and asked cautiously: "Please tell me in detail, what was her reaction at that time? Which sentence did she react to?"
"she……"
While thinking about it, Aunt Wan slowly said to Ruan Yunluo: "She wanted to see you at that time and said she wanted to return the rights to the house, so I told her as usual that you were sick. She was surprised at the time and said how could this be possible? She was fine a while ago. Why did you suddenly become ill, and why are you so ill?"
"She also said...did you already know..."
Aunt Wan frowned, "But what exactly she knows, she hasn't finished yet..."
"Did you already know..." Ruan Yunluo frowned and thought for a while, then smiled quickly, "She probably thinks I'm pretending to be sick. She thinks I already knew about Xiao Qintang's dowry stealing. She thinks I gave up the housekeeper. Quan is trying to dig a hole for her."
"Ah?" Nanny Wan was shocked, "What should we do?"
"What do you mean?"
"What if she files a complaint?"
"Why should she complain? She has no evidence." Ruan Yunluo laughed. "Besides, I lost the stewardship a long time ago, and the time is not right."
"Then it won't be troublesome if she keeps staring at you from now on?"
"It's okay. After cutting expenses, she will soon have no time to pay attention to me."
Ruan Yunluo didn't care much about himself.
After all, she still occupies the title of General's wife and has a royal decree. It is impossible for Yin Xiaorou to do anything to her directly. At most...
Ruan Yunluo looked at Aunt Wan with some worry, "It's you, please pay more attention recently. If she really doubts me, she will definitely start with you first. If you find anything unusual during this period, remember to tell her Tell me."
"good."
Aunt Wan nodded, suddenly curious, "Madam, do you think Aunt Yin will really cut expenses? Which expenses will she cut?"
"She doesn't have a dowry. What else can she do if she doesn't cut expenses?" Ruan Yunluo put down his elbows and lay back on the couch. "As for whose expenses to cut? I have a candidate in mind, but I'm not sure if she really dares."
"Who is it?" Nanny Wan was curious.
"What do you think?" Ruan Yunluo asked, "I told you that it's the old routine. How many times have I cut expenses under the old routine?"
"Twice."
Aunt Wan was recalling it and said: "One time, a few actors hooked up with the second young master to stop doing serious business. You used the excuse of cutting expenses and sent the theater away. The other time..."
Aunt Wan said, suddenly shocked.
She looked at Ruan Yunluo in disbelief, "Madam, does that Yin Xiaorou really dare to stir up trouble in Tai Sui?!"
